The Lee Valley Lions are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian-born blueliner Yasin Sridhar.

Yasin was born in the Canadian province of Ontario, but is EIHA-trained and thus does not fall under the club’s non UK-trained player contingent.

The 26-year-old played three seasons for the University of London Dragons in the BUIHA (British Universities Ice Hockey Association) between 2013 and 2016, appearing in 27 games and scoring 12 points (four goals, eight assists) while also sitting 52 penalty minutes.

During his time with the Dragons, he was a team-mate of current Lions netminder James Andrew.

Yasin now takes his first step into NIHL league hockey with the Lions, with the club hoping that he can help to shore up the backline.

He will wear the #4 jersey for the Lions.
